I am so excited to see Rachel and Michael's wedding at Gotham Hall published in The Knot New York! It is such an honour to see their beautiful day kicking off the section on real New York weddings. We worked with an incredible team on this and I couldn't have asked for a happier day for Rachel and Mike! Evidenced by those dazzling smiles I see in so many of the photos from Roey Yohai.
Stephanie knew she wanted to get married at Blue Hill at Stone Barns before she had even seen it in person. When she visited with her then fiance David, they knew it was the perfect spot for them to say their vows and celebrate with their friends and family. It is such a romantic and beautiful place. Treating your guests to a gastronomic experience like this makes it really special!
Read moreMartha Stewart Weddings described Cristina and Jason's celebration as simply chic and I could not agree more. There is beauty in simplicity and this elegant day exuded it with such grace.
I love the flowers in May. Poppies and Posies created lush romantic garden arrangements, and a bouquet so dreamy that the bride never wanted to put it down. It was important to the couple to make it feel intimate and inclusive of their families. Jason's dad officiated the ceremony, grandma embroidered the cloth covering the chuppah and they displayed old family photos on a gold bookshelf from Patina Rentals. Cristina is the talented owner of Riles and Co. and she hand poured 132 candles for wedding favours. I had a really hard time editing down these pretty images from Mademoiselle Fiona!

This is how you throw a wedding celebration with that outdoor feel, but right in the middle of Manhattan. The bride and groom said their vows on the rooftop at NOMO SOHO and watched the sun set as they sipped on cocktails with their guests. The party progressed downstairs to Isola for a delicious family style dinner. The room was jaw dropping, with glamorous chandeliers hanging overhead, lush blooms by Blossom and Branch, an eclectic mix of different tables and chairs, and romantic calligraphy on blush watercolour brushstrokes by Julie Song Ink. So many guests stopped at the entrance of the room to take a photograph! The evening ended with a decadent dessert table including Dominique Ansel Cronuts, Magnolia Bakery banana pudding, Molly's Cupcakes, Citarella pies and a wedding cake from Nine Cakes. All of the couple's favourite desserts from New York City.
Read moreKathryn and Chas' wedding had two ceremonies! With both ceremonies and dinner taking place in the same room at Gotham Hall, it took a team of the best creative professionals to execute it all so smoothly and beautifully. Coming from very different backgrounds, it was important to the couple to pay proper tribute to their Indian and Chinese cultures and religions. We started the day with their Hindu ceremony. By Yena Designs created a striking gold chiffon mandap with bright pops of orange dahlia and magenta phalaenopsis orchids draped elegantly from the corners. The aisle was artfully decorated with petals inspired by rangoli designs. The bride was so happy when she saw the room, she shed a tear! With the conclusion of the first ceremony, guests were ushered upstairs for coffee, tea and dessert, as the room was changed for the Catholic ceremony. The floral palette was a clean white with a few subtle touches of pink. To honour Kathryn's grandmother, Yena placed a few pale pink lilies, her favourite flower, into her bouquet.
One of my favourite personal touches was the Indian rangoli vine surrounding the Chinese "double happiness" character. Both elements were used separately on the invitation suite, but on the wedding day they were combined and used on the menus. I loved the symbolism of bringing both families together that day. Guests dined under the grand dome at tables dripping with orchids from Yena. With romantic draping from Dazian and dramatic lighting from Bentley Meeker, the room was breathtaking! They partied the night away to the incredible sounds of the Blaire Reinhard Band. I am so proud of how everything came together for Kathryn and Chas that day and could not have done it without the amazing team involved!

Cipriani Wall Street has seen a lot of black tie weddings, but not often is it transformed like this. Saipua brought to life the ethereal and diaphanous feeling that Francesca wanted for the wedding and created a midsummer night's dream. There was so much I loved about this day. The towering flowering branches with romantic hanging votives, the lush flower wall at the entrance, the engraved invitation suite with gold edging and the vintage cake topper from Francesca's grandparents' wedding.
Read moreThe details in Emily and Marco's September Wave Hill wedding were a sight to behold that day. The one and only Saipua created a floral dream that brought Wave Hill to a whole other level. I loved the four lush urn arrangements and the white benches for their ceremony at the romantic pergola overlooking the Hudson. At Wave Hill House, they brought the garden inside with lush garlands, gorgeous flowers, towering trees on the tables and glowing candlelight everywhere.
